A country enters a technical recession if its economy contracts for two successive quarters. The downturn followed a strict two-month lockdown imposed across the country beginning in March to combat the pandemic. That was followed by a $35.14 billion package to stimulate the economy by boosting jobs, consumer demand, manufacturing, agriculture and exports hit by the coronavirus pandemic.

The Office for National Statistics said that as a result of the fall, the economy is 8.5% smaller than its pre-pandemic peak. Because of the November fall, the economy is set to contract again in the fourth quarter. “The economy took a hit from restrictions put in place to contain the pandemic during November, with pubs and hairdressers seeing the biggest impact," said Darren Morgan, director for economic statistics. The hope is that the rollout of coronavirus vaccines — the U.K. is ahead of many other countries — will see a pick-up in activity later this year. ___Follow AP coverage of the coronavirus pandemic at:https://apnews.com/hub/coronavirus-pandemichttps://apnews.com/hub/coronavirus-vaccinehttps://apnews.com/UnderstandingtheOutbreak

(AP Photo/Frank Augstein)LONDON – The International Monetary Fund has downgraded its growth forecasts for the British economy for this year and next, following an acceleration in the number of coronavirus infections over the past couple of weeks.

Instead of shrinking by 9.8% this year, the Fund now expects the British economy to contract by 10.4%.

After that, the British economy contracted by nearly a quarter before the restrictions started to be eased and large sections of the economy reopened.
